She was beautiful- kind of like a cross between Lauren Bacall and Ava Gardner.

Beautiful... Which films did she appear in? |

"Laura" is her most famous movie.
She was truly beautiful. But she had such a sad life. |

She contacted an illness at some event while she was pregnant, and the child was born with a defect, it's the illness which pregnant women must avoid, I am
forgetting the name. I think she suffered from severe nervous breakdowns later in life.

During 1953, Tierney's mental health problems were becoming harder for her to hide; she dropped out of Mogambo and was replaced by Grace Kelly.[22] While playing Anne Scott in The Left Hand of God (1955), opposite Humphrey Bogart, Tierney's long string of personal troubles finally took its toll. She said that "Bogey could tell that I was mentally unstable." During the production, he fed Tierney her lines and encouraged her to seek help.[23] Worried about her mental health, she consulted a psychiatrist, and was admitted to Harkness Pavilion in New York. Later, she went to the The Institute of Living in Hartford, Connecticut. After some 27 shock treatments, Tierney attempted to flee, but was caught and re-institutionalized. She became an outspoken opponent of shock treatment therapy, claiming that it had destroyed significant portions of her memory. In 1957, Tierney was seen by a neighbor as she was about to jump from a ledge.[24] The police were called, and she was admitted to the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas on December 25. She was released from Menninger the following year, after a treatment that included - in its final stages - working as a sales girl in a large department store (where she was recognized by a customer, resulting in sensational newspaper headlines). Later that year, 20th Century-Fox offered her a lead role in Holiday for Lovers (1957), but the stress proved too great. Days into production, she was forced to drop out of the film and was readmitted to Menninger. |

my god this is so awful
In June 1943, while pregnant with her first daughter (Daria), Tierney contracted rubella during her only appearance at the Hollywood Canteen. Daria was born prematurely in Washington, D.C., weighing only three pounds, two ounces and requiring a total blood transfusion. Because of Tierney's illness, Daria was also deaf, partially blind with cataracts and had severe mental retardation. Tierney's grief over the tragedy led to many years of depression and may have begun her bipolar disorder. ![]() ![]()

Easily the most beautiful of all the old time actresses, I think. Linda Darnell was another one who was beautiful, and had a tragic ending to her life (she
died in a fire trying to rescue a friend's child, I think) Can anyone find her pic?
